In which philosophical form of government does Barack Obama believe? That has been one of the ongoing debates since he burst upon the national political scene a scant four years ago. Political observers noted he was the most liberal member of the United States Senate, and many believed he was a radical left-wing zealot if [...]

AMERICA’S QUEST FOR THE PRUDENT PRESIDENT
Feb 20
This gallery contains 2 photos.
The multiplicity of challenges that confront an American President animate Murphy’s Law, to wit, “anything that can go wrong will go wrong”. This adage should be indelibly ingrained in the Oval office ceiling a la Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel fresco. In fact I suggest an amendment to Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution to state, [...]
Republicans and Democrats Forge Bipartisan Compromise, Rip Constitution in Half
It was a rainy day at the Capitol building as Republican and Democrat lawmakers gathered to ceremoniously mark the occasion of a historic bipartisan compromise. The two parties put partisan politics aside to work together on a bill that would have seen the complete nullification of the U.S. Constitution. After reaching an impasse along party lines, with all Democrats voting to put the musty old parchment in the shredder “for the good of the children” and all Republicans voting to keep the document around as a quaint memento, the two sides finally arrived at a bi-partisan solution: to rip the Constitution in half.
An Armed Citizenry

Nothing riles a leftist more than the right to keep and bear arms. The slapstick performance of Eric “My People” Holder and his Justice Department in the Fast and Furious scandal amply testifies to this fact. The gun-running fiasco is only the latest in a succession of hysterical initiatives on the part of the Democrats [...]
SWAT Teams That Think They’re Marines
Feb 3
This gallery contains 1 photo.
While the cops once viewed themselves as keepers of the peace, they now seem more like bringers of war. The old term: “peace officers” appears unfasionable in the face of armored SWAT teams with snipers and cop-staffed mini-invasion forces including small tanks and helicopters foisted upon us in the name of the “war on drugs.” A few [...]
Newtney on the Bounty
Not only is the GOP torpedoing their ship that’s supposed to come in this year, they are steering it directly into the Obama Port of Second Call. Is this how we shore up the Conservative base or win the Moderates and Independents? This intense implosion within the Republican party gives fodder to the Obama campaign — a gift in video sound bites. 
Obama clearly cannot run on his record. One of the few arrows he does have is to vilify the ultimate GOP candidate — but alas the Republicans are doing a bang up job of handing him the full quiver. If Newt is the candidate, Obama runs excerpts of Romney’s campaign against Newt. Ditto if Romney wins. Read the rest of this entry
FOUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES AS 2012 RESOLUTIONS
Jan 29

America is about to face another full year, hopefully the last, of the Obama regime’s affronts to our founding father’s principles and the canons of the Constitution. In fact King Obama has kicked off 2012 in fine form thumbing his nose again at the Constitution by appointing Richard Cordray to serve as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection [...]
Are You Ready for a Total Socialist Government?
Jan 28
Sometimes a simple question can become complicated. Perhaps the question should be, “Have we adjusted to the cultural change to the point that we are ready for a different form of government to control our new culture?” The culture sixty years ago was quite different from what is observed today. Why did it change so much [...]

*UPDATE: The ruling on this matter is in. Though Hillary Clinton rarely gets the credit anymore for it, she was the ‘mother’ of the ‘birther’ movement. While many people know the “birther” movement as one challenging President Obama’s birth certificate and birth place, there is another aspect of it that often gets overlooked. [...]

Knowing that Congress has recently authorized the U.S. military to arrest and imprison citizens in the U.S. without habeas corpus, due process or any charge and hold them without communication as long as desired is scary. (Non-believers: Sec 1031 of Defense Authorization Act.) Knowing the internment camps to house such prisoners have been built (by [...]
Obama’s Attack On Religion Swatted By Unanimous Supremes
Jan 15

Interesting for a couple of reasons: Obie’s worker protection cops applied enforcement on a little church, telling it to jump through all the hoops of equal rights, racism and diversity in hiring a minister or face the usual bullying penalties. Thanks to some outside support, the little church was able to contest the attack clear [...]
Was America Ever a Christian Nation?

There is a raging argument between secularists and atheists on one side and Christians and many conservatives on the other as to whether or not American can be considered a Christian nation. And not just now, but ever. This argument over whether the USA is a nation founded by Christians on Christian values and principles [...]
What, Me Worry?

Mad Magazine’s Alfred E. Neumann seems the perfect model for todays’ American citizen: 1. The President, Barack Obama, has expanded his Republican predecessor’s claim to the right to kill whoever he decides is a threat, anywhere, anytine, without review. 2. The Federal transportation cops (TSA) are moving out from airports to random searches of both [...]
Why the Tea Party is Centrist and Leftists are the Extremists
Nov 2
This gallery contains 3 photos.
The popular image of the tea party spread by opinion-molders is that it is a right-wing extremist movement within the Republican party. But actually, it is a coalition of American conservatives near the center of two extremes. According to widely accepted political theory and European history, leftists are the extremists. “Right-wing” is a slur reflexively [...]

Am I To Be the Next Dead American Enemy Combatant? My Kids Too?
“I’LL TELL YA WHAT: I’LL TRADE JA SECURITY FOR YOUR FREEDOMS, OK?
The day that I agree with the ACLU is the day that confirms my belief that the world has truly turned upside down. That day is today. The ACLU is demanding transparency & legal justification for the killing of American born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, his teen age son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen who was born in Denver in 1995, and his 17-year-old Yemeni cousin that were killed in a U.S. military drone strike that left nine people dead in southeastern Yemen.

For Homeland Security It Is FAST

Once again the individual freedom of the American people is being assaulted by the Department of Homeland Security.

The new invasion is called FAST and it is still in the research section of the DHS. It is [...]

Iraqi PM Nouri Al-Maliki Iraq’s cost is approaching a trillion dollars now; deaths are approaching 5,000 and those injured are coming up on 30,000 as The Trillion Dollar War of Choice explains.

So, Who Pays for Bridges, Roads, Sewers and other Civilizing Infrastructure
Sep 21
Of late on any number of conservative blogs, commentators and those responding have correctly railed against the White House’s “stimulus” programs, aka the Recovery Act and all peripherals.

San Francisco liberals dishonor U.S. Military, show compassion for convicts
Aug 13
In 2005, San Francisco announced their desire to make their little Utopia by the bay a military-free zone, and erase the military’s presence altogether. Their vile contempt for the military is legendary and at times dangerously close to treasonous. They moved from harassing military recruiters to violently shutting down job fairs and anything that included [...]

Small Reminder of What the Enemy Can Do

Every now and then, it’s a good idea to remind ourselves of what we are up against when it comes to standing for liberty, life, human dignity, market forces and the public face of God. For the most part, we conservatives agree that the enemy is communism which masquerades as any number of other “isms.” [...]

Of all the manifold aspects of cultural decay, one of the most difficult to recognize is the corruption of constitutional law.

Total Victory in the Battle for the 2nd Amendement
May 12
Conservative forces often complain about losing the grand battle for the heart and soul of America, about declining moral standard, and a certain long term move towards socialism and loss of freedom. Well, atleast when it comes to gun rights, the move seems to be going the other way. Look at the map above, 48 [...]

Dave’s Quote of the Day
“Therefore, words meant by the instrument to be subsidiary only to the execution of limited powers, ought not to be so construed as themselves to give unlimited powers, nor a part to be so taken as to destroy the whole residue of that instrument; and
II. Therefore, whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”

Jesse Jackson Jr: Constitution Should Guarantee iPods and Laptops for Ghetto Kids
“DECENT” HOMES AND MEDICAL CARE SHOULD BE “RIGHTS” AS WELL
Is it midnight Jesse, or did everyone else head for the exits?
I often comment that when it comes to the left, there is no amount of ineptitude, irrationality, absurdity, idiocy, silliness, gall, or bull crap that surprises me anymore.
I stand corrected.
Jesse Jackson Jr. says that the Constitution of the United States of America should guarantee every “ghetto or barrio” student the right to an iPod and a laptop.
Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.
It appears that he either made these comments on the House Floor at midnight, or everyone else got an advance copy of his speech and headed for the exits. I bet the lone guy who stayed behind was praying that he wasn’t in the video.
Considering Junior’s lineage, should we be surprised?

Egypt and Gun Control
A friend and I recently engaged in a brief discussion about a change (if any) in the dynamics of Egypt’s current revolt situation considering one difference… guns in the hands of the people. It makes one wonder. A proponent of individual gun rights, I find myself somewhat impressed at the results over there. Not only do the protesters not have arms, but the military is refraining from firing their weapons, other than “soft” ammunition when needed. Are the Egyptians just that much more civilized?
Dave’s Quote of the Day
If the new Congress to be sworn in on Wednesday is the Tea Party’s cardinal achievement so far, its most symbolic achievement will unfold the next day, when the first order of business in the House will be a reading, aloud, of the Constitution – by all accounts, for the first time in the nation’s history. I discuss this issue more fully in this morning’s Wall Street Journal. Let me add simply this:
Symbols are important. When the House votes next week to rescind ObamaCare, as it is expected to do, that vote will be symbolic, because no one expects the Senate to uphold the vote, nor the president, if it did, to do anything but veto it. But the new House, responding to the voters who sent them to Washington, will have thrown down the gauntlet, and the real work will then begin.
Restoring limited constitutional government is a tall order, to be sure, and it cannot happen in a day. But we didn’t get into this mess in a day, either. As we saw a generation ago in Eastern Europe, and are now starting to see in Western Europe, the road out of the ubiquitous state is difficult, with fits and starts along the way. But the alternative is simply unacceptable, because unconstitutional. We’re fortunate that we’re not in as deeply as many others, and fortunate too that we have a Constitution to serve as our touchstone. Wednesday, with the oath “to support and defend the Constitution,” will be a start. Thursday’s reading will dramatically set the stage for the debate that follows. The hard work then begins.
In Honor of the 112th Congress
I give you Captain Kirk quoting the preamble of the US Constitution. Still some good ideas in there. And hopefully this new congress will finally be the ones who start to respect both the spirit and word of this most important of documents.
